UGH>>>>>I weighed the same again. This drives me insane sometimes you know...I went to weigh in on Saturday and they said I was eating the same foods two days in a row and I am at a plateau, I guess this is out of habit. So over the weekend, I had Kashi cereal and skim milk instead of toast and ff yogurt. Then I didn't have any chicken all weekend, I had steak and yesterday I did a CC ( carb craver) sandwich. We will see by Wednesday if that helped.

173.6 lb
Lost so far: 14.4 lb.
Still to go: 18.6 lb.
Diet followed reasonably well.

I do understand about plateaus. I was told to stick with lean proteins as much as possible. The reasoning is that your body needs fat to break down the protein. If the protein has little fat the body will draw from our reserve of fat to process the food. I do alot of fish, chicken, turkey and some shell fish. I hope this helps. You'll get there.

cluck cluck cluck.....I think I am gonna turn into a chicken....LOL Chicken and fish is pretty much what I stick to most of the time, also have cottage cheese, eggbeaters, peanut butter and am starting to do veggie proteins for variety....since on the new plan I have pork, beef and salmon only about once a week.......I gained all my Take Off weight back over thee weekend and we cannot figure out why.....so please do not get discouraged, I think our bodies just do weird things, really....
